Enough with the its preseason. Its the last ****ing preseason game and this is the effort they have for it? It seems as if they dont know whats expected of them. Only that they want a player in front of the net all the time. They look lost. It wasnt the case during torterellas training camps. Everyone knew what was expected of them.

If Kreider would only play like he is pissed off all the time, he would be a beast.

The coaches must have talked to him. Thats why i think he is gonna stay. I know people love fast and lindberg but when kreider is 100% committed his a a nightmare for the opposing team. maybe thsi was the wake up call he needed because he is playing his ass off tonight

Hi guys. Nuck fan popping in. Don't worry too much, AV usually throws the preseason away to test new things and give guys a look in different role. He's also notorious for slow starts to the season (terrible Octobers) but once he picks it up and the system starts clicking, you guys will have a solid team. Unfortunately, he loves his journeyman plugs who are willing to drop the gloves (Rome, Glass, etc) so get ready to embrace AV's new man-crush - Stu Bickel.

 

[GoAwayGiannone]

So far...
The Good - Hrivik, Miller, Fast.
The Bad - Falk, Richards.
The Bickel - Giannone.

 

[OverTheCap]

Can't wait to hear about how Richards spent his offseason!

"Well, I thought I was over Olivia Munn, and then I caught an episode of Newsroom and cried into my pillow for 3 hours..."

 

[redfzn]

lol Richards.

 

[DudMan28]

Everybody Panic!!!!!

I wouldn't say its time to panic, but its not like the NFL were 3 quarters of the game is played by guys who will never see the field. We have a lot of guys out there that will be playing opening night, and most of them look bad.

Not quite panicking, but I'm not thrilled by what I've seen.

well torts dressed him in way too many games, he got 3 minutes most of the time. however i dont know where stu fits in. certainly not on defense, we are pretty deep there.

 

[Maineice11]

Awesome contract year for Hank

maybe he'll sign his extension before the season, just incase it is a rough year

Rangers top 6 on D is set.

 

[Championship*]

"It's the preseason" is going to turn into "It's only the first game" which is gonna be "It's only the first week" ect, ect

Another beer anybody?

 

[Doctyl]

Rangers top 6 on D is set.

thats what i was thinking, but torts has used stu as a forward before. i really hope AV doesnt do the same

Problem is nobody seems to understand that the preseason is preparation for the real thing, not "let's jerk off for 6 games and wing it on October 3rd".

And by "nobody" I mean including the Rangers.

 

[broadwayblue]

He hasn't looked good at all pretty much the whole preseason. He's never had a preseason like this. Don't be surprised if this is the case. The time of "It's the preseason" ends in 20 minutes.

Sorry, but I'll be completely surprised.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Sometimes I feel like I like Stu Bickel, but then I realize I probably wouldn't feel that way if "Stu Bickel" wasn't the single greatest hockey name in history.

 

[Callagraves]

Rick Nash makes me sick. I know the preseason doesn't matter, but I have to be up at 6. I stayed up to watch the Rangers last preseason game, and he floats around like he's trying to think of what tie he wants to wear later, until the puck ends up on his stick, where he tries some EAsports 1 on 3 spin move, dekes through 3 players and then literally passes the puck right to them? **** that **** man. Rick Nash hasn't played a good hockey game since game 48 of last season.


I miss Hags, Step and Cally. Literally my 3 favorite forwards on this team. Any one of them has the ability to turn this game around, especially Step and Cally.

Well stated.

 

[Championship*]

Sorry, but I'll be completely surprised.

I'm already completely surprised. Preseason or not, Henrik does NOT play like this.

 

[Dagoon44]

Which is exactly my point. He's been crap all pre-season, therefore he shouldn't make the team.

Which is the post i was referring to......

Yet again a horrible non factual post.. Last time he played he had a great game and bumped Kreider
For the last 2 periods off the first line. Again dumb play in a reg season game who cares tonight unless your that guy that has to bash the tough guy to fit in around here

 

[DudMan28]

Another beer anybody?

Dont get caught buzzed driving

Same thing every year. People make excuses all year long until the bitter end. People over react all year long as well.

 

[hpNYR]

Enough with the "its just preseason" crap. Its the last preseason game and this is the effort they have? Team looks lost. They dont seem to get whats expected of them. Tortorella camps everyone knew what was expected of them.

 

[Championship*]

Dont get caught buzzed driving

I'm in the safety of my home. Where I come to ***** about the Rangers

 

[Steve Kournianos]

which new turd?

The one without long blond hair and perky ****.

 

[Doctyl]

anyone actually read the post from the canucks fan? i thought it was pretty insightful especially for the sky is falling crowd.
